Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 370 E-sports preparation before release

Li Mingzhe is a StarCraft player in the trials.

Because the game StarCraft is not officially released yet.

The three camps of Zerg, Protoss and Terran also only provide some basic arms and buildings.

There are only two maps.

In addition, this game is a brand new type, and many people have a lot of ignorance about this game. Some of them even participated in the StarCraft competition, but because of the poor operation, they will soon be eliminated, and then They turned their heads and chose to invest in video games that were more mature, such as Street Fighter.

And Li Mingzhe is a very talented person in StarCraft.

At a time when many people only had a superficial understanding of the rules of StarCraft, he already knew how to start saving time.

Although it has not yet reached the level of the rhythm of Zhu Yuxing's previous interstellar player, every second counts as a good rhythm, but there is also a general plan for the time.

And this operation immediately made him stand out in the selection of StarCraft.

However, there are actually not a few players who have similar ideas with him, but they haven't met each other yet.

Just two days before the official launch of StarCraft, Li Mingzhe has successfully become the winner of his region.

Then, under the envious eyes of countless people, he personally took over the huge check for 2000 million won.

In the spotlight, he was a star at the moment.

Originally, he only came for the bonus.

But when he stood on the podium and looked at the countless admiring and envious eyes from the audience, his sense of accomplishment rapidly expanded.

Suddenly he felt that the bonus didn't seem to matter.

This highly anticipated feeling is what he yearns for.

He yearned for that feeling of being a star.

"Hello, Li Mingzhe, right?"

Walking down the stage, a man in a suit took the initiative to walk over.

"I am, may I ask you..."

"I am an e-sports star agent of the Li's consortium. If you are interested in joining the e-sports club to get more resources, you can contact me."

The man took out a business card and an invitation letter and handed it to Li Mingzhe.

Li Mingzhe's heart moved.

You have already gained the attention of the consortium just after you won the first place in the region?
This is a very rare opportunity.

However, he obviously won't be too anxious to find this consortium. He believes that there should be other e-sports clubs from other financial groups looking for him in the future.

But another invitation letter he handed over made him more concerned.

It was an invitation letter from Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

When the agent left, he opened the cover of the invitation and began to check the contents.

In the invitation letter is an invitation from Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment will cover all his travel expenses and accommodation expenses, and then invite Miami, the United States in front of him, to help him promote the video game.

He will play exhibition matches at the game launch site as an eSports player.

In addition to travel expenses and accommodation expenses, of course, there is also the cost of hiring him to help with publicity, which is about 1000 million won.

This made Li Mingzhe's heart flutter immediately.

He is also only young, just at the age of no money, he can go to the United States for free once, and he can also get a reward of [-] won before, and he has almost no reason to refuse.

The first time he read the invitation letter, he had already made a decision.

He will definitely go.

At the same time, whenever a contestant from the Korean region wins the championship, he will immediately receive an invitation letter from Youxing Electronic Entertainment
The number of such people is about 20 or so, and everyone can be regarded as someone who already has some strength in StarCraft.

This time Zhuyouxing does not intend to use those traditional means of product promotion.

Of course there will be TV commercials and the like, but Zhuyou Xing does not plan to use celebrity endorsements this time, but let real high-end players in the game to help promote.

And if possible, Zhu Yuxing also intends to let these people complete some difficult operations as much as possible, and the performance effect should be very eye-catching.

This will attract more cool people to buy the game.

In addition to the publicity of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, the Morgan Group is also sparing no effort to help promote StarCraft.

Some people within the Morgan Group even suggested that StarCraft be built directly into the new operating system.

However, this is obviously not suitable. After all, the capacity of StarCraft is not small, not everyone likes video games, and such a large built-in thing will greatly affect the favorability.

However, just promoting it through the channels of the Morgan Group is enough to make many people pay attention to this game.

Two top big companies are vigorously promoting a video game, and other game manufacturers are very wise not to confront Yuxing Electronic Entertainment this time.

The video games they originally planned to release have adjusted their release dates in order to avoid the edge.

They still clearly remember the game that was released at the same time as Final Fantasy 7 a few months ago.

Almost without exception, those games did not make any waves.

If they hadn't crashed with Final Fantasy 7 and released, their game might have captured at least some people's attention.

But if it was released at the same time as Final Fantasy 7, especially the batch of role-playing games, almost all of them died violently, and all the investment money was lost, which was very miserable.

Then, suddenly, there was a small vacuum in the originally planned release date for StarCraft.

In the ten days of StarCraft's release, there were no games from any major game companies.

At most, there are a few smaller games that are only made by fans and released, which will not affect the overall situation at all.

The day before the release, many young Koreans such as Lee Ming-chul and Park Jae-hoon came to the United States one after another.

They have never left Korea in the past, and going abroad for the first time is full of novelty for them.

But now they don't have that much time to hang out.

Now they have a more important task, which is to go to different regions to cooperate with the promotion according to the arrangement of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

"Li Mingzhe, where is Li Mingzhe?"

One person shouted Li Mingzhe's name loudly with the list.

When Li Mingzhe heard it, he immediately raised his hand in the crowd: "I'm here."

The person holding the list immediately walked up to Li Mingzhe, pulled Li Mingzhe and prepared to leave.

"Fine, come with me, let's go to Miami together, how is your English?"

"That...not very good."

"It doesn't matter, you are only in charge of performing StarCraft. Have you seen the previous publicity plan?"

"There are some, I need to show the cool side of StarCraft as much as possible, and I've been working hard on that."
